It's probably mostly idiomatic. For native English-speakers it is more natural to use "number" when talking about things that are counted units that would be represented by integers (like marbles, or children, or features). "Amount" would be more appropriate when talking about something that you measure and represent with a floating point number (like butter, or gasoline/petrol, or risk). But an English-speaker will understand what you mean if you say "amount of features" instead of "number of features."

And since we're being picky, it should be "the latter is correct", not "the later is correct."
"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for few public officials." (George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 425-426)

Also, see 10 U.S. Code § 246:
(a) The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.
(b) The classes of the militia are—
(1) the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia; and
(2) the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

The militia is literally all around you, every day.
I've also read that the food pyramid was apt for the time since meat and whatnot was so expensive. They were trying to get enough calories in people.

The food pyramid has its origins not in recommendations for a balanced diet but in food shortages. The USDA released the Basic 7 food guide in 1943 to help U.S. citizens cope with food rationing during World War II.

Finding the Money – There's another side to the national debt
We have built our society on a lot of incentives that are bad for the planet unfortunately so we now have some conflicting requirements for tackling climate change.

1. Cut back on emissions

2. Nobody anywhere is allowed to lose money

How can this possibly work? How do you cut emissions which are a proxy for consumption/production without anybody losing out?

I don't know if we're talking about exactly the same thing but this is my side story:

Even small requests to AI I find myself accidentally including some words or phrases that seem to indicate to AI "Oh he wants this as a function that does all the things very manually".

So I get some fairly capable, but very verbose and often inflexible code.

Yet, that's not what I was asking for, but something in the context set the AI off in that direction. In reality I'm not sure what I want and I'm open to anything.

Often I suddenly realize "Wait, there's gotta be some built in things in this language that does this or part of this..." and often there is that is far more reliable and a better way to do it. Somehow AI skipped that and gave me a different answer.

It strikes me as similar to customers who come to me with "I want an email that's sent on Tuesdays that are single digit calendar dates and this field contains the letter Q in them and ..." But when I ask them what they're trying to accomplish I find all that specificity isn't needed, and they really mean they order all their grapes on Tuesdays at the begging of the month and they just want a list of their grapes orders every few weeks.

Crazy idea I've always wanted to try: somehow hack a USB foot-pedal to act as a layer key.

(Hard, because usually the layers are implemented inside the keyboard's firmware, rather than being processed by the OS. Maybe the foot-pedal would need to plug into the keyboard.)
Clearly a lot considering the general state of the chargepoint, evgo, and ea networks.

Also consider that Tesla's chargers have thus far failed to achieve 800V charging, which is a death knell for any future facing network.

If the EVSE is talking to your car but not the firmware of the car, then please explain what the hell it's talking to. Is it in the cloud? Is there a little man that lives in my car that replies?

Getting the amperage wrong or sending power when the car is not ready both sound like astoundingly dangerous failure modes for a DIY project, even if the most damage is bricking your car's battery controller.
That description is a little vague, so I need to improve that. The use cases we're focused on are ones with 1) dense unstructured text, like legal documents, financial reports, and academic papers; and 2) challenging queries that go beyond simple factoid question answering. Those kinds of use cases are where we see existing RAG systems struggle the most.

Yeah, this is definitely the case IME. It's easy to read these stories and go away thinking "WTF." But it's important to remember that these stories come from oral societies, which means 90% of the communication is lost since it's only written on paper. But that communication can be reconstructed by a charitable mind.

For example, in the first story in Grimm's Fairy Tales (at least the version I read), there's a mouse and a cat that are friends. The cat and mouse find some delicious food and they hide it somewhere far away from their house. The cat then proceeds to go "visiting relatives" (in reality he is eating up the delicious food) and the mouse is gullible and believes the cat. After a while the mouse discovers the cat ate up all the food and angrily accuses the cat of being deceitful. The cat then proceeds to eat the mouse. The end.

I think this is a profound story on not ignoring the fact that the cat is the natural predator and the mouse is the natural prey in the relationship. The mouse has convinced itself that this time will be different. This has relevance for e.g. not dismissing signs of abuse.

But it's so easy to read that story and be like, "Well, I guess the point is that gullible people get screwed, so don't be gullible." Or even, "It's a dog-eat-dog world." It's a good story to tell a friend who's trying to rationalize being passive in an abusive relationship.
Is this not a glider? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_glider
> could it be that your ported code doesn't do things like it should be done in modern .net?

I'm actually curious myself after this discussion. I didn't port it, my coworker did it and I'd have to ask him. I did take part in the benchmark though and watched all the deadlocks happening.

Found this old screenshot of our internal FS driver debugging tool - to give you an idea of what I mean by needing high performance: https://postimg.cc/mc6YQFbC

24,654 filesystem events in C:\Windows\ in just 1 minute and 30 seconds on idle. 814 read operations (36,7MB) + 948 write operations (66,9MB). Now imagine this system-wide (not just the Windows dir) under heavier load. This is where modern .NET could not keep up leading to the aforementioned deadlocks.

Sorry that I can't provide more specific info at this time. I can find out more on Monday.

Scientist knew plastic recycling was impossible. But marketing companies working for plastics producers came up with the idea of lying to the public about it to stave off a ban they were looking at.

Today, it's basically impossible to convince people that plastics are not recyclable - at least not in the same way that glass or metals are - because of that little recyclable symbol ever piece of plastic has on it.

I wonder what that will mean for charging infrastructure that suddenly has to deliver 10x power to enable that. Not sure that sort of charging could be as ubiquitously placed as gas stations
It is and it isn't. Can I plead the 5th?

Yes, the fact that they're using crappy encryption doesn't excuse me.

But (IMO) context matters, and I can't really use something that causes opening a connection to take 1s on a low(er) end server. That would be appropriate for interactive use (i.e. ask a human user for a password), but not every time a connection drops and your server needs another one. And I'm weary to add caching at the library level and risk exposing a side channel.
By adding addition friction, one reduces that 'accessibility'. Adding unnecessary friction by doing extra work setting something up as feed-only so that readers have to do extra work to decide if the feed-only content is worthwhile, the question I have is 'why?'

Efficient in what sense? HW encoders usually only explore a fraction of the search space, and in the case of JPEG often result in 3..5 bit per pixel images.
> As the post explains, the Reliable and Safe bit are really handled by the car, not the charger.

That is completely wrong.

The EVSE is responsible for implementing a GFCI cutoff as well as an over-current cutoff. Those are both safety features. A failure in the car's insulation resulting in a short to the frame is a shock hazard. A shock hazard also exists if the charge cord insulation is damaged. A bug in the car's charger firmware that results in too much current draw is a fire hazard.

Additionally, the EVSE must keep the contactor open unless the plug is attached to the car (sensed via the [edit: pilot, not proximity] pin). Again, a safety feature because the J1772 plug is large enough for a finger to accidentally contact the conductors.

Yet another is that the EVSE informs the car of the maximum safe current via a PWM signal. Too much current = fire.

The car can't help you with any of those safety aspects.
I think this all boils down to what Ted Kaczynski talked about in "Industrial Society and Its Future." Specifically "The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race" because "in modern industrial society only minimal effort is necessary to satisfy one’s physical needs." I would say 99.999% of all modern work is "surrogate activity" (an activity that is directed toward an artificial goal that people set up for themselves merely in order to have some goal to work toward.)

It's no surprise you can end up feeling empty and unfulfilled in a career like software development, or any other modern career, you are putting energy and emotional involvement that you would otherwise have put into the search for physical necessities. I think this is particularly acute for those in software development because it is so abstract and disconnected from the physical world. Biologically speaking fulfillment should come from satisfying your physical needs (i.e. surviving) not from the pursuit of some made up goal.
I'd say they pay bad so they don't have to have the local employees that would be protected by strong local laws. Contracting is effectively cheaper, mostly because the company doesn't care about the health of the local company/economy.
Yes, I wholeheartedly agreed.

How will you make a living though?
Yeah I am thinking grid applications will take up most of the available supply for the next few years. That charge/discharge speed makes it perfect for helping to stabilize the grid, frequency regulation, as well as for replacing peaker plants. Lithium batteries are already being used for these two applications but I think these sodium batteries would be better.

I think they're right to be wary, but then again, Chrome shipped this in 2021. It's not widely used, but it seems like there should be some real-world experience to go on? Are Chrome's safely precautions inadequate? Is it being abused?

In the end, though, it's not that big a deal. It's easy for technically minded people to have more than one browser installed. You can use Firefox and start Chrome for any websites that need this niche feature.

I wrote a tool that uses WebSerial. It's a little annoying to ask people to switch browsers to use my tool, but it's doable. (Or perhaps use this extension, if you trust it.)

In practice, nobody is using my tool much anyway, including me.
Have you considered that maybe the instability in those regions is due to their prolonged subjugation? Maybe progress towards ending the caste system would have been faster had the British not brutalized the country.

On wikipedia:

> Although the varnas and jatis have pre-modern origins, the caste system as it exists today is the result of developments during the post-Mughal period and the British colonial period, which made caste organisation a central mechanism of administration.

Hey folks,

Just stumbled upon this new job board called DefiniteJobs and it's been a total game-changer for my job search. Unlike other sites, it's not cluttered with irrelevant listings, so you can actually find what you're looking for without endless scrolling. The interface is super easy to use, and I love how it gives personalized recommendations based on your profile. Plus, for employers, it's got some handy tools to streamline the hiring process. Definitely worth checking out if you're on the hunt for a new gig or need to fill a position.

Cheers,

I'm sorry to hear that. For what it's worth our marketing colleagues make a big effort to minimize the risk of such interpretations. Sometimes a really snappy string of words can be interpreted multiple ways. There's also only so many words we can put on an ad before it gets messy.
